Still going on or did it get better?

Still going on, can see them now

Can u give descriptions or get pics.

I wish I could. It would be way to unsafe to try to take a clear pic of drug dealers. Specially drug dealers that are selling out in the open without care for people or kids that see it. They are OUT IN THE OPEN just send the cops!

Residents,

Have you contacted the Police as per my comment a week ago?

If not, unfortunately this is a police issue. I highly recommend that you call the non-police number at 201-547-5477 while this is happening. You can also report this issue on the WOTS app or you can go to the South District precinct.

That WOTS app is a joke & don't work. I tried it a few times & is garbage.
It might need to be tweeked to be effective but right now, not good.
The dealers need to be called in & give an accurate description of these people

Yes. I’ve done what you asked: I contacted the non-emergency number. It’s still happening brazenly IN THE OPEN. I used and reported on the WOT app, the app said the police took 6 hrs to respond AND went to the wrong address. Is this app for the drug dealers to send the cops away? Property Taxes have gone up nearly double yet there’s allowed to be streets of open air drug markets? Councilwoman Ridley says to contact the RRC...Ivette, there needs to be some assistance here. WHO can actually fix this? PLEASE!! Everyone is saying contact someone or something else...

Today on 6,27 where are they? I'll speak to someone to step the patrols up over there.

See, my comment just got blocked up top.
Maybe this will post.
Are they out now or just early?

J Cruz. Tell this woman to call the narcotics squad. They have the right set up for this. Calling the patrol is ridiculous. You are supposed to give the narcotics recorded line number. Never give that number out to someone calling on dealers.

@FedupinGreenville,

I am here to help. As I mentioned earlier, I have contacted the Community Relations Officer in your district. I plan on following up today. I think a conversation will help clear some things up. Please give me a call when you have a chance. I work Monday-Friday 9am-4:30pm. Today I will be out of the office for a bit in the morning but you can reach me this afternoon or leave a message and I will get back to you.

@JCNJRegisteredReporter,

I would like to get your feedback on the WOTS app so I can bring this up to the police dept. Please give me a call when you have a chance as well.

I look forward to hearing from you. I hope we can talk soon.

I see my comment from yesterday finally got unblocked.
Also, the WOTS app is a joke. It does not work like described. It if did, crime would cut down more with people on the app with this.
Face it, these days no one likes to make a call. It's all about texting!

Please note the narcotics squad as been contacted via phone and email regarding this issue. Should you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to reopen this case and/or contact me at 201-547-4900 or icruz@jcnj.org; Monday-Friday 9am-4:30pm.

@JerseyCityNJRegisteredReporter,

Please call or email me with your feedback regarding the WOTS app. I can ensure to get the feedback to the correct office. The app is new so any feedback would be helpful to make it better. I hope to hear from you soon.

Thank your your assistance Ivette. And thank you for clarifying via phone. I’m reopening this until there’s a resolution. I believe this is far too serious of matter to close when tax payers quality of life is at stake here.

No problem @FedupInGreenville. We will leave this open and as we discussed I will do my best to let you know when this has been resolved.

I'm also trying to help you. I made my calls & there Have Been Arrests in that area!

@JerseyCityNJRegisteredReporter Thank you for helping!

Still happening...9-9:30 am appears to be the morning ‘reup’ time. But it’s certainky all day open air, unafraid drug dealing. Parade of customers, baggies and vials all over. Outdoor perch in front of the vacant lot at 195 Armstrong where the fence has been peeled open again. It’s like a scene from The Wire or New Jack City.

If paying an increase in property taxes isn’t enough for consistence, can the number of the narco squad be posted please?

I will report to narcotics. In the meantime, the number is 201-547-5389.

Seems to be under control

Thanks Ivette. Gave it time. Had to reopen. Unfortunately it’s not under control...tho phone calls to narcotics (thanks again for posting their number). The dealers are still brazenly selling, they just merely wait for the cop car to leave. Parking an unmanned marked vehicle for a couple of hours does little. The cops need to stand on the corners that are openly active! OPENLY selling on MLK between Woodlawn/Armstrong. Openly selling all around both corners... vials theown about, heroin baggies, “customers” shuffling. School is back in session so the kids will have to walk among this mess just to learn. How to regain control?

Please note I have reached out to narcotics again as well as the community relations officer for your district and the Captain for your district as well.

Welcome to Jersey City. That's what I get when I call the non-emergency number. That is the comment before the police operator hangs up on me. In the mean time, our vehicle suffers $5000.00 in damages by "juveniles" who I'm told have rights as important as my paid home owner rights. By the way, these juveniles, the leader who lives across the street from me dumped off a ride share Hudson County Bicycle on my front gate in order to prove that there isn't much I can do about their threats to my wife and I. I still have the bicycle and am waiting for someone at the police to investigate. My wife is going to call the number on the bike to see if anyone is interested in picking it up and or finding out who took it. Welcome to Jersey City (23 years after our move here)

Closed due to this being a police matter. Narcotics has been informed. Should it become an issue again, please report on the WOTs (word on the street) app which is monitored directly by the police.
